Well I guess it might be time to flash up the chainsaw ans fix this situation with a few trees in the path. The builders give and can take. Time for someone else to fix it.
Lolz, best response I’ve seen in a long time. It’s one thing to think that up, quite another to post it in a public forum.
Let alone an employee and owner of the Bike Pedaler in Dartmouth. @ 61 Portland Street.
I’d be sure to remember this before I decided on where to take my business in HRM
Chainsawing trees on private or public lands you don’t own, lol, good call, that’ll def reflect well on the mtb community.
If I fix it do I get to name it?
More importantly if you fix it will you put it on trail forks and stop flagging it on Strava? Or is that part of the land use agreement?
I haven’t seen a hot mess like this since back when the evil clown gang was hanging effigies in the woods.
Nah, I’d put it on Strava and give credit where due.
Im new to strava and just got back into mtbing a few years ago but I’m honestly confused what everyone’s fired up about lol.
Arent we all just having fun riding bikes on dirt and granite lol
I downloaded strava after seeing all this lol.
This is 100% 2005 ECMTB.
Pretty sure the nostalgia is what is drawing us all back. Now I just need my 2003 Norco Torrent with a Jr T on it and we will be back in action!
Negative.
Chek ur cabels!!11!1!!
Heavy sigh
The sad thing is there was a valid reason for this and it has been forgotten. Regardless once a trail reaches a certain level of notoriety people are going to end up on it at some point.
You can’t keep a secret if you tell somebody much the same with trails. We all crave something new and if it’s good trail word is going to hit the street quicker than a good deal on weed.
Now that it’s a noted trail we are going to see traffic regardless of Trailforks or Strava’s policies so maybe it’s time to change the narrative and talk about what could be done to find a way forward without conflict.
Skelhorn, he says he’s talking about Line 24. Not a new trail. We’ve been riding that for almost a decade in its various forms. You’re thinking of “Line 26 - No Strava”. The name almost begs to be uploaded.
No I am talking 24 but the whole area has got a conflict history
I really don’t understand the conflict; other people are riding a trail built on land that the builders don’t own, it’s not someone’s personal private trail in their backyard (not crapping on the builders, but it is ironic that the builder craps on riders using spider lake as he points out that it is on private land).
Anytime I’ve built any addition to a trail that gets used a lot I get a sense of pride that riders like and appreciate the addition. I don’t understand the motivation to not have the trail on Strava or to hide and keep some parts of it secret. Perhaps if Brent explains his reasoning it would help.
